Home Cocktail Tap Setup Under $100!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
- Can you make a home cocktail tap setup for under $100?! In this video I show you how! Tap cocktails are a simple way to make your life easier when you have to make a lot of drinks quickly, so instead of shaking, today I’ll show you how simple it is to make tap cocktails at home! We’ve done batched drinks before, but with this you’ll be able to make sours that don’t need to be shaken, while still getting that nice aeration and texture of a well shaken cocktail! We’ll test this out on the Whiskey Sour, the Daiquiri and the Aviation, but you could of course use it for any cocktail. All you’ll need is a keg or an iSi Siphon, some nitrogen and some nitrous oxide and you are ready to serve any sour on tap - yes, even ones with a creamy head! If you are looking for a life hack to get more efficiency and more consistent drinks at your bar, pull up a chair and get ready. Taps can be for more than beer, it’s Cocktail Time!

Kevin!! Cherry season is here! Can u do a homemade boojee cherry video?? Love every video you make!! 🍒
Man, showing up to a party with a keg full of delicious cocktails is a new way to arrive in style! 😎🤩
You are right!
This new year i pulled up with liters of mojito in a keg. Its a good way to become popular 🫡
This episode was so good, I had to Tap the like button 😉
Something worth noting, it looks like you might be using a sparkler tip on the faucet (the bit that screws onto the faucet). These contain flow restricting plates that will create turbulent flow as you dispense. A regular tap for beer service is designed to dispense with minimal turbulence and might give you a different result in the final cocktail.
Thank you for sharing! I will check it out! Cheers!
Well done Kevin and team!! Thank you
I so need to try this. Thanks!
Always excited for a new video! It's Cocktail Time!!!
Cheers!
Cheers!
I am impressed to be sure. Kevin, your inventiveness knows no limits!
Thanks!
Hi Kevin, thanks so much for this video. I tried it this weekend with the whiskey sours using pasterized egg whites. This is so awesome and such a gamechanger because it leaves me more time enjoying cocktails than making them. Although making the batch is great fun. Keep up the great work!
Awesome! Cheers!
Loved all cocktails! That aviation was amazing!🤤
Thank you!
Thank You for this film!
You are welcome!
Inspirational! Thank you!
you are welcome!
I gotta say Plantation 3 stars is my fav when it comes to anything with light rum in it.
I love it too!
As someone who was first introduced to Daiquiris only 3 months ago, I have 2 favorites at the moment. Plantation 3 Star makes the best Daiquiri I've tried so far, but also Plantation Fancy Stiggins Pineapple for a darker Daiquiri.
I recently discovered Probitas (mix of Hampden Jamaican and Foursquare Barbados rums). The best I can describe a Daiquiri with this rum is like a key lime cheesecake. If you live outside the US it's known as Veritas (name was a trademark contention with a US based software company).
This is wonderful! Thank you!! To your other questions about rum I like plantation 3 year and diplomatico exclusiva if I want more depth
I've recently got one of these vevor minikeg things for carbonating my homemade cider with good results, and am absolutely intrigued by the idea of using it for batch cocktails and introducing the idea into the bar I work at as a chef. It's fascinating. Thanks Kevin!
You are welcome! Cheers!
I am also considering the vevor minikeg. It seems for nitro cartridges only, do you think that excludes nitrous oxide?
Margarita would be great!
I think i would go with el dorado 3 years for daquiri, maybe a plantation blanco. Its something about havana club that has a hint/undertone of intoxicated teens 😝 its pureley for mojito imo
I've learned how to clarify and prebatch cocktails, make super juices and syrups and a ton of other techniques from your channel! Excited to add this to my repertoire!
Awesome! Cheers!
Kevin these are 3 fabulous cocktails! My 2 faves are the Aviation and the Whisky Sour and if I had to just choose one fave I would choose the Whisky Sour! I'd love to try all of them using this method! The sound so delicious!! Thanks so much!! Amazing video!! 🙂
You are welcome! I am glad you like it! Cheers!
@@KevinKos 🙂
Looks like a great technique for a Ramos Gin Fizz!
A really interesting device
Next Friday I'm entertaining guests... And now I'm considering buying a 2L keg. Kevin, you're about to be the death of my budget.
I like to use 2 different types of rum when making a daiquiri. Usually a lite rum like Curzan 2 parts also, a rhum agricole like Neisson or Rhum J.M. half part.
This makes me want a chilled margarita keg for the beach 🏖
You would be a star of the beach 😉🥂
As an avid homebrewer, with an 8 handle kegerator, I try to keep a kegged cocktail on draft at all times. I have made several, but the margarita seems to be the favorite. Maybe since I live in Southern California, where Mexican food is very popular. Surprising how fast a 19 liter keg can disappear at a party.
This could revolutionize service bars
Really awesome stuff! How long do these drinks last in the fridge?
You and @ truffle on the rocks are amazing…
Thank you so much!
Hi Kevin, i really like your approch to selfmade bases and new ways to enjoy your guest and yourself. I was wondering if the whole super juice concept could be used with fruit juices differet from just citrus, it would be a game changer! Thank you and good job!
Yes it can be used with fruit too. I made it with raspberries for a delicious Clover Club. Cheers!
Do you have any other videos, books or etc on keg cocktails for a bar? Is super juice the best way to go? Would clarifying the lime juice also help?
Loooove this one. I always have a cocktail on tap when I have a party. It's pretty simple, but no more work than making a punch bowl or drink dispenser.
Would love to know more about properly making carbonated cocktails on tap. They have been pretty elusive to me, coming out as all foam and then flat, no matter what I change. By making the clarified mint cordial w/super juice, I could conceivably have a carbonated mojito on tap during all the warm months.
Noted. Thank you!
I guess the march of tech has advanced so much that we can do this. We may need to thank the soda fountains for the ideas, because this is outstanding for bars & servers.
It really speeds up the serving. Cheers!
Wow, I had never thought of making a premade cocktail in a N2O or N2 siphon or a keg before.
cheers!
Great Video and channel 🔥. Is it the same technique for Old fashioned’s, Negronis etc?
Yes, both can be made like this too, but you can just batch them in abottle and put them in the freezer. When needed you can pour it over ice. Check out my Stout Old Fashioned episode for that. Cheers!
Hi Kevin.. I’ve just made a Nitro cocktail at Blue Bar at The Berkeley.. based on cold brew coffee and tiramisù flavours.. I would love to let you taste if you happen to be in London 🎉🍸
Hey Kevin, thanks for the video!
If I wanted to make the whiskey sour without super syrup and super juice, would this still work? I know it wouldn't give as much foam if any, but I love the idea of pouring whiskey sours out of a whipping canister for parties. Any recipe changes you'd make?
Thank you!
@kevinKos Does the gas not carbonate the cocktail? Thanks, I love your videos
Awesome content as always!
I was wondering, is it possible to do the whisky sour out of the keg (with pure nitrous cartridges obviously)?
Or is it just possible with the whipped cream siphon?
Thanks a lot!
Thanks! It's only possible to do it in a keg or siphon.
what about using normal or other cream whippers such as isi gourmet? I can't find any sources that say I can not use nitro gas in that whipper other than the nitro siphon is "designed" for nitro gas. I am just curious if there are any major differences on the two types, do you know? @@KevinKos 🤔
Love it! If you wanted to make it a day(or two?) ahead of time and keep it refrigerated until serving, would you wait until serving to introduce the nitrous/NO²?
Glad you like it! Yes, it's best if you add the N2O cartridge before serving although cocktail can then be charged and used for a week. Cheers!
Any suggestions for the Nitrous Keg? I'd love to pick one up to batch and serve cocktails at my next party.
Just a note for everyone, pay attention to the type of gas cartridge these use. I have one I got that take threaded cartridges, which means only CO2. Hoping to jerryrig some kind of adapter to allow threadless ones to work (like ISI ones)
Can i use a cocktail keg for the whiskey sour? or do i have to use the isi nitro whipper?
Pozdrav iz Zadra dragi 👍
Hey Kevin, love the videos. I have an isi cream whipper, would love to get the keg. Would the regular isi cartridges work in the mini keg or is it a different size cartridge all together.
Pretty sure they're the exact same cartridge size
yes they are the same size.
@@KevinKos oh no Kevin, my wife wont like you now cause I need one now 🤣 keep up the vids I do enjoy them
@@brandonmelville5713 😅🥂
Dear Kevin, thanks for the great content. Can you tell us; where can I buy nitrogen capsules, I can only find N2O. How important is it to use N2 for the eggwhite Cocktails?
it's really important. N20 wont give you the right texture. I am buying mine in specialty shops for bars. You can maybe also check out specialty coffee stores because this gas is meant to be used for cold brew.
Awesome! I already have one of these 2L kegs, but where can i buy just the tap??
you can buy it separately on Amazon.
tap Mai Thai!!
This might be a rookie question, but when it comes to us making our own recipes for this, and for sous pression, how do we calaculate just how much dilution we need?
Have you noticed any strange activity with storage of a sour cocktail featuring methyl cellulose? We tried a batched sour, and the methyl cellulose chained together and came out of solution after about 48 hours. My only theory is that either the pH or the ethanol forced it out of solution. We built this prototype with plans to shake it, so maybe the additional water helps mitigate any unintentional behaviors.
There was a bar in a hotel I visited in Milwaukee that had some really interesting bre-batched cocktails on tap. Unfortunately I visited at the beginning of the week, and they were all out.
Sorry to hear that! I guess you are going to visit them again 😉🥂
If you wanted to make a Mojito or Southside Fizz, would you use the same dilution or add more water? (Presumably pre-infusing the herbs into the alcohol with a whipping siphon)
I wouldn't add water at all. I would add soda water to fiinish up the drink at the end.
@@KevinKos I was planning to carbonate the whole cocktail, dilution included.
hola soy de colombia , aprendo mucho de sus videos
queria saber como hace para medir la cantidad de agua para cada coctel
Se que tiene un mes el comentario y supongo que ya lo habrás solucionado pero Kevin mide el 55% de agua. El daiquiri son 60+22.5+22.5= 105 *55 /100= 57.75 -> 57.8 ml de agua para 105 ml de los demas ingredientes.
Pardon me if I'm wrong, nitrous oxide is laughing gas? Is it safe to use in a cocktail?
What would be the difference if you interchange nitrogen gas and nitrous oxide? Thank you!
It's safe to use it in cocktails. Nitrogen gas is usually sold in bigger cartridges that don't fit in here. Also, it would give you a cascading effect, similar to Guinness.
I generally use Wild Turkey 101 for cocktails, and Rittenhouse for rye cocktails.
Thank you for sharing!
Trying to make a jungle bird tap cocktail. How would you go about creating pineapple super juice? What would your dilution be?
I haven't try it yet. I believe it's still better to use pineapple as a syrup or juice thatn Super Juice, but that can be done too. I don't have a recipe yet, sorry. Cheers!
Just a question...can i use foamer inside keg for example a Whiskey sour??
For that you will need Nitro Siphon and N2 chargers.
If mixing up say a negroni using the keg and tap method here does the entire keg of cocktail have to be consumed in one evening? Or could the keg be consumed over say a week or two? Will the gas carbonate the cocktail if in the keg for to long?
N2O won't carbonate the cocktail so you can have it stored like this for a week for sure (if not more).
Hey Kevin. Do you have a link to the complete keg? Keg + nitrogen kit
I added the links in the description. Thank you!
@@KevinKos Yeah I dont see the tap or keg either. @cristian if you see it link it.
I have a beer keg, could i use it for this??
if you can add the same N2O cartridge, then you can.
Anyone tried this scaled up to a 4 or 5L mini keg?
I’m a rare person who has a home keg system with a cocktail on tap. I was under the impression that citrus (even super juice) will not hold that long especially when mixed into other ingredients and it’s best to not do this? Am I wrong? I would love to be here!
Hi! You can have a cocktail in keg for couple of days and it will still be fine.
Hey kavin if anybody wants to buy it,how can it be bought?
Would an equal amount egg whites instead of the super syrup work?
I am not sure but even if it would, you cant store it for too long.
@@KevinKos Thanks. And don't worry. I'm pretty sure I don't have to store it for a long time. 🙂
So would this work with a C02 rated keg - using...C02?
Co2 keg episode might come to the channel this summer 🤞
Where do you buy the keg from?
I added the links in the description. Cheers!
How long will a cocktail last in the leg or siphon?
It should be good for up to a week.
@@KevinKos awesome thank you
Wouldn't it make more sense to measure using scales instead of trying to measure volumetrically? Seems easier and more replicable to me.
Homemade cherries 🍒 video soon? Cherry season is here woohoo
Dang I wouldn't mind having a batch of Ice Cold Old Fashioned on tap...
Right? Cheers!
Those drinks dont get carbonated ?
Can somebody explain why the water though ? Can i not add the water ?
It's the dilution. When you stir or shake the drink, you get dilution from the ice, and here it is similar, but it doesn't chill the cocktail, so you have to chill it in the fridge or an ice bath.

Kevin, I'm trying to think of excuses for why I keep buying seemingly random cooking and cocktail gear at a rate that my girlfriend finds alarming... Any ideas?
Haha sorry for that! If I were you I would make her a delicious cocktail every day 😄🥂
should have talked more about how and what the nitrogen and nitro oxide does to the drink. it seemed to be the main theme of the video but you didn't even talk about how the drinks taste with the gas. Just how the drinks taste from mixing them.. which is already somewhat common knowledge.
Thank you for pointing this out. Will keep this in mind for future episodes. Cheers!
I know this is a bit of a boring answer, but I really enjoy buffalo trace for my whiskey sour. 🦬 It just provides a great balance of sweet and spice.
Not gonna lie, I would invest in such a setup strictly for moi 🤌
cheers!
